MUNCIE — A Muncie man arrested on drug-dealing charges Thursday night told deputies he routinely ingests heroin more than 20 times a day.

Pierre Jerome “Boo” Robinson, 45, was one of three people arrested when members of the Delaware County Sheriff’s Office Drug Task Force joined with SWAT team members in raiding a home in the 2200 block of East 18th Street.

Authorities allege Robinson in recent days was involved in at least three heroin transactions with agents for the DTF. One of those deals purportedly took place in a local Wal-Mart.

When deputies raided Robinson’s house Thursday, they reported finding 32 grams of heroin, paraphernalia including syringes, marijuana, more than $4,000 in cash, and two guns, one of them an assault rifle reported stolen from a Muncie home in December.

In a later interview, Robinson told sheriff’s department Cpl. Lenny Popp his heroin habit was “very bad,” adding that his addiction “got out of control” after he moved from Detroit to Muncie about two years ago.

In an affidavit, Popp wrote Robinson was “ready to settle down ... and say goodbye to heroin.”

The Muncie man was being held in the Delaware County jail on Friday under a $62,500 bond, preliminarily charged with dealing in a narcotic drug, possession of a narcotic drug, unlawful possession of a syringe, maintaining a common nuisance and receiving stolen property.

He was convicted of dealing in a controlled substance in Delaware County in 2014. He was released this past September, according to Indiana Department of Correction records.

Also arrested were Robinson's girlfriend, Danielle L. Phillips, 28, and another man living in the home, Larry Barnes, 53.

Phillips — who told Popp that she was four months pregnant, and that she and Robinson had intended to start their lives over, “this time without the heroin," on Friday — faced the same preliminary drug-related charges as her boyfriend. Her bond was set at $47,500.

Her long criminal record also includes a 2012 conviction for dealing in a controlled substance. On May 17, she was placed on probation for a year in Muncie City Court after pleading guilty to theft and battery charges.

Barnes told the corporal his “heroin use is heavy, and (he) sells occasionally to get his fix,” the document said.

He was preliminarily charged with the same drug-related counts, and was being held under a $47,500 bond.
